["Beat the eggs and sugar together until the sugar has completely dissolved.", "Add the coconut milk to the eggs and sugar.

(An additional step sometimes involves straining the mixture through a sieve- you can do this if you're scared of lumps but I choose not to and it turns out fine)", "Bring a pot of water to a slow simmer and place the bowl of eggs, sugar and coconut milk over it- the bowl needs to be touching the water.", "Stir the mixture every 10 minutes for about an hour. It'll start getting thick after about 30-40 minutes.", "(Note: Don't be alarmed by the lumps you may see, it's just the way it is and it After an hour it'll be the consistency of a very soft, not-quite set runny cookie dough. Spoon it into a clean jar.", "(Note: Don't be alarmed by the lumps you may see, it's just the way it is and it doesn't matter by the time you spread it over the toast. Please trust me on this, it's so worth it!)", "Toast the bread so it's browned and crispy.", "Spread the Kaya evenly over the toast.", "Spread the butter over the Kaya-slathered toast- it's easier to use room-temperature butter, and make sure the toast isn't too hot that the butter turns into a puddle.", "Enjoy!"]
